I am surprised at the number of negative reviews for this school. I relocated to the northern Virginia area from a more rural part of the state, where I had attended a small liberal arts school. I wish I had skipped my altogether and gone straight to NVCC. You get a university-level education at half the cost. The professors are VERY qualified without being arrogant (which is what you find at some four-year schools). One of the best things about NOVA is the absolute array of classes available. There are more options in terms of classes and majors available at NVCC (Russian, anyone? Health Sciences?) than there are at many colleges. At NOVA, you aren't limited. Classes are available in many different subjects, at many different campuses, and with many different schedules (morning, evening, weekends.)
